From Academia: 3D Printed Pills, 4D Printed Structure, and how to properly 3D print Chocolate

In today’s issue of “From Academia”, we explore different Material Extrusion (MEX) techniques to fabricate tablets, lattices, shape memory polymers, and chocolates (Yes, chocolates!). The first article demonstrates a novel preparation technique where filaments were soaked with drugs prior to filament extrusion of tablets. The second and third articles explore the world of 4D Printing with shape memory polymers and shape-shifting lattice structures. Lastly, we are delighted to share an article where researchers demonstrate chocolate-based ink 3D printing (Ci3DP) to fabricate chocolate-based 3D models.

From Academia” features recent, relevant, close to commercialization academic publications. Subjects include but not limited to healthcare 3D printing, 3D bioprinting, and related emerging technologies.
